Okay so the green movement is sweeping the nation. I too am on that wagon. I started recycling over 10 yrs ago. I began making my own skincare products 8ish yrs ago and even started a company where I sold my very own natural product line. Currently, my creative juices have began to flow once again. I enlisted my older sister today to pull out her sewing machine and work on an idea that popped into my head that I feel will be a big hit for those who are challenged by the sewing machine. She eagerly agreed and said she would run out tomorrow and pic up all the supplies needed for the project. If after testing and all goes well, we will begin to sale them on ebay or maybe itsy.
I've used Dr. Bonner's Castile soap since I was a teenager. I always enjoyed taking baths with the peppermint or lavendar soap. I tried washing my hair with the peppermint but I didn't like it back then...I think the problem may have been because I didn't dilute it. I love the Almond, Tea Tree, and Citrus Orange as a body wash and shampoo. Today I used my diluted Citrus Orange spray bottle that I've been using to shampoo my hair to clean my Tub and Shower. To my surprise the dirt just melted away and my bathtub is sqeaky clean. In light of the economy its good to know that I can use a few products for multi-purposes around my home. I love to wash my laundry with it as well and the clothes smell great afterwards and I feel great wearing them knowing that I didn't use any harsh chemicals to clean them.
I also make my own toothpaste. The cost for everything I currently use is less than $30 dollars and will last me over 6 months I'm sure.
I am making my own 100% cotton facial cloths and crocheting a wool scarf and hat. I will do another blog with the finished results with photos when I finish. I love being creative, I feel so ALIVE!
Yay! I've finally tried the Dr. Bronner's Lavender Castille Soap. What in the world was I waiting for? Probably the price since all I saw at my local health food store was the small bottle for $9.99. I had no idea since it was so thin that you only need a small amount and if using for your hair, dilute it. I put a dollup in with my baking soda mixture and have already used it 2 times with another shampoo possibly 2 more left in that mixture. At this rate I'll have this bottle for 6 months or longer as I'm showering with it also. I love it!!
